Ruth is under a lot of pressure form her family and her environment. The only reason she even considers having an abortion is because of how poor the family is. It would not be fair to Mama or Beneatha for Ruth to have a baby. They don't have the room or money. Travis is already sleeping in the living room, where would the baby go? Mama and Beneatha do not deserve to be up all night listening to the baby cry. Mama would deal with it, but Beneatha is selfish. She would complain about it constantly. Ruth is simply not in the right environment to have a baby. There is also the factor of money, or lack there of. With the insurance money and the new house it could be a possibility, but now that Walter has thrown away every bit of money they had, there is just no way. They can barely afford Travis as it is. If Ruth lived in a different environment and had more money, she would never abort her baby.
